This hunt didn't go as planned, we attempted to cut off a flyway and we got outsmarted. I made a more portable blind for this very spot because we had to hump our crap a long ways. We got 25 on the ground before we threw in towel.

I would also like to call attention to the picture below of my hunting partners antique ammo. May just be me but I found it hilarious the age of some of the boxes, pretty sure they where older than me.
I would love to shoot 25 crows on a hunt, been out 3 Saturday in a row in southern Maine a seen 3 and had 1 shot. Been bad around here this past year. I will keep going because i love to hunt beats sitting home.Thanks

Yes, Dale got a laugh out of my shell's i took with on that trip but like i always say i like thing's the old way and that includes my shotgun shell's. The truth is that a friend bought about 25 or 30 boxes of old shell's at an estate sale. He kept the heavy loads & sold me the light loads for $4.00 a box. They shoot just fine. The shot cam got me back on track with my shooting, I was shooting in front of them. That's from practicing on sporting clay's, they travel much faster than the crow. Paul.
I always like to see the footage of your hunts. It never fails to make me smile.

We had to walk in, it was a quarter of a mile or so. It was pretty much all fish crows that day, there may have been a common crow sneak in but I don't remember if there was.
And me and that old gun of yours are getting along just fine.

Real crow hunting? Dale, your footage is as real as it gets.
I'm glad I took the time to make some of those videos back in the 1980's, 90's and up to around 2000 because it's part of crow hunting history now. Some guys really enjoy watching hunting clips from way back when because it gives them a glimpse into the past. Myself included, love watching the old quail and pheasant hunts from the mid to late 1930's on you tube.
I am editing the videos through IMovie. It is a more basic editor but once I get the basics down I am gonna move to Finalcut Pro which has way more effects and crap you can do.
